Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |
|
DDE example
This example uses Visual Basic for Applications.
The format of the Service Manager execute command string for system events is:
SystemEvent( event name, parameter name, parameter value, ...)
Where event name corresponds to the event name in the Service Manager SystemEvents table and parameter name / value pairs are known to the RAD program.
Sub ReceiveInteraction()
channel = DDEInitiate("Service Manager", "Actions")
DDEExecute channel, "[SystemEvent(""ReceiveInteraction"", ""Caller Name"", ""KENTNER"" )]"
DDETerminate channel
End Sub
The example above:
- Initiates a conversation with the Service Manager system.
- Executes a DDE command starting the system event ReceiveInteraction, passing the parameter name Caller Name with the parameter value of Kentner.
- Terminates the conversation.
